Both the girls and boys performed extremely well! Everyone (boys and girls) fell into the healthy range! I think this was due to our excellent class preparation leading up to the test, and the percentage of student-athletes we have in the class is high (thus many of the students have good flexibility in their trunk area).
Of the five girls that were tested, four of them had the same score (2 11's and 2 12's). And, the girl that didn't have the same score on both tests improved her score from test 1 (11 inches) to test 2 (12 inches). The average score for the girls on test 1 was 11.16 and the average score for the girls on test 2 improved to 11.66. One of the reasons the average improved from the first to the second test is because the girls became more familiar with how to raise their upper bodies and keep their heads in the neutral position.
On the boys side, of the ten boys that were tested six of them reached 12 inches on both test 1 and test 2. Two of the boys did fall 1 inch from 12 inches to 11 inches between test 1 and test 2, while one of the boys improved from 11 inches to 12 inches and another boy jumped from 9 inches to 12 inches between test 1 and test 2. The drop in scores by the two boys could have been due to fatigue. This the overall boys' average. The 8 boys averaged 11.83 inches on test 1 and 11.875 inches on test 2.
